Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i'll tell you what my mind is like cuz im a teen:
optimistic,
pessimistic,
clever,
niave,
im still so uneducated, yet somehow smarter than my parents when it comes to school work ;-),
im scared to death of the future, but theres a flame of hope in me that burn with the knowledge that i can be anything i set my mind to, i AM the future, and i will be great.
sometimes i dont feel so great
sometimes i feel fat
sometimes i feel beautiful, and other times ugly
i love my family more than life itself, even tho im usually "too busy" to show it, or too stubborn, or whatever the case may be.
my friends come and go, but in highschool, i think i'll hang on to a few of these friends for a while.
my friends do drugs sometimes. this is quite normal and doesnt phase me....thats a lie... i worry about some of them and drugs, sometimes i feel like they get to the point where its almost a problem, but we always pull them back....well almost always. :(
my friends have sex all the time, often times unprotected, i tell them the dangers of this, and ask them if they are prepared to take care of a child, they say yes, but i know as well as they know, that they arent ready for any such thing. but hey "it'll never happen to me" right? ha ha.
i laugh at stupid and immature things, becuase they are funny
i do stupid and immature things, because they are funny.
i like laughing, its a good escape
im on the internet constantly, it is my lifeline lol, it helps me feel connected to my friends, and at this age its all about feeling "connected"
i fear growing up very much. i have such high hopes for myself, what if i dont become everything ive always dreamed of? but then i remind myself that i can just start over again. but then i remind myself that its not so easy to "start over" when you've got bills and kids with mouths to feed.
mostly im just reeeeaaallllyyyyyy confused
but im prepared to sit back and enjoy the ride to adulthood, because thats when the real sh!t hits the fan
